pretty name - really like it

dizzyjingles · 16/12/2008 00:39

has lovely meaning too - means to be loved

ggirlsbells · 16/12/2008 00:33

nice name

dizzyjingles · 16/12/2008 00:33

only because it was on some programme about scottish history the other night

Esme was the french cousin who was a bad influence on king james and was sent back to france by the nobels

wouldn't let that put you off though as it IS lovely - especially speaking as someone who has just given her DD a name predominantly used for boys

nice although apparently traditionally a French male name but I'm talking hundreds and hundreds of years ago here

it is on our shortlist so thumbs up from me.

Lovely name but I reckon - based on local evidence - that it'll be in the top 20 within a year or two. But that in no way means it's a bad choice.
